Devotions Meme - thanks Char!

I've been tagged by Char to do the Five Favorite Devotions Meme.

1. Eucharistic Adoration - aka the University of the Eucharist. I've received many insights at Adoration and at times it was the only thing that kept me hanging on while I waited for my decree of nullity.

2. Rosary - aka Call Your Mother and send her a bouquet of 53 roses! It's the go-to prayer for any and every situation, happy or sad.

3. Divine Mercy Chaplet - I resisted this one for ages but once I "got it" I was hooked. For a long time I could not seem to memorize the prayers until we got EWTN and I heard it being sung. Being a scrupulous and by-the-book type of person the concept of mercy was often lost on me. I am slowly starting to understand it now. It has really helped me teach RCIA!

4. Aspirations - it can (and should) be simple. Like - Jesus, I trust in You. Or when you are waiting in traffic for a red light the red light reminds you of the Sacred Heart of Jesus burning with love for us so you say....'Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.' Keep it simple.

5. Just thanking God for the gift of faith and the ability to explain to others (sometimes I don't do that well but occasionally I let myself be the 'little pencil in God's hands' and He gets results.

I am tagging the first five people in the blog roll (which changes as you update so sooner or later you will ALL be tagged!)
